Clarify on SharePoint user license count

Question

We are using SharePoint on-premise. Our company only have 100 users (I count it manually...). But the UPS in SharePoint CA shows we have about 300 profiles. I checked there are many service accounts or test accounts sync into UPS.

My question is how many user CAL we required? I have no control on the domain so I have to sync all 300 users/non-users into UPS.

Answer 1

You would need 100. You only license users who actually use the product.
